Hey Guys

[Marc2xd]

Nice to meet you guys,

I will briefly introduce myself. I’m a 19 year old from QLD Australia (6’2 80kg). I’m currently a university student studying ‘International Studies’ with a particular interest in ‘International Security’. After my stint in University, I would like to move on to the military in a 2nd Commando capacity (2CDO).

Physically, I’m trying to condition myself for more of a military role compared to my previous sport background. Therefore, I struggle in a few aspects such as rucking.

The information on these forums that I’ve seen are a real asset and I can’t wait to utilise them in the future to increase my chances of passing selection.

Welcome and best of success to you!

Stomping or pack marching in our neck of the woods.
Kapooka, the School of Infantry and AIT will get you up to speed for pack marching, if you go down the SFDRS route, then in the Battalion you'll work on it more before attempting selection again (Barely anyone gets through to 2 CDO through SFDRS, but a lot of those guys have another stab at it after some time in a battalion and often do quite well).
